Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 55

This discovered a secret, and it is always inevitable to let people know that you have discovered the secret. When Lin Qingran heard the word 'Daughter Temple', she wanted to leave the small garden directly. Curiosity killed the cat. She knows too well. More is not necessarily a good thing, let alone someone else's business.

But before Lin Qingran left, the people behind the pavilion came out, facing each other, Shao Ziming put his hand on Aunt Ruan's shoulder immediately, without any nervousness, he looked at Lin Qingran calmly, " Brother and sister, you also come for a walk."

He wasn't worried, she was worried about nothing, she wasn't the one who got caught, Lin Qingran greeted him more calmly than him, "Fourth brother."

Shao Ziming glanced at Aunt Ruan, "Go back first."

Upon closer inspection, Aunt Ruan's eyes were still red, and she bowed to Lin Qingran. When she walked by, there was a burst of fragrance, not strong, and it smelled very pleasant.

Shao Ziming then looked at Lin Qingran, "Brother and sister, can you take a step to talk."

"Just say it here." Where can I go by taking a step, she took a good walk, can I pretend that I didn't see it, he will be nervous now?
Shao Ziming smiled, "Siblings always have this temper when they talk to others."

"If fourth brother has nothing to say, I'll go back first." Lin Qingran frowned slightly, apparently unwilling to say anything more to him.

Shao Ziming was a little helpless, "I just want to keep my younger siblings, I just want to say that my younger siblings don't get me wrong, after all, it's always wrong to let my younger siblings see me in this garden."

It's not right that you are still hugging so happily, Lin Qingran snorted in her heart and said nothing.

"Actually, I still have something to hide about Aunt Ruan's origin." Shao Ziming's expression was really helpless at this moment, "My brother and sister have been to Yanzhou City, and they also know that there is a daughter's temple, which is a place of Goulan. A normal daughter The family doesn’t live there, but Aunt Ruan lives in the daughter’s temple.”

Lin Qingran's eyebrows twitched, she didn't ask anything, so she hurriedly explained, the love story of a Pianpian boy meeting a girl who lost her way in a brothel?

How did Shao Ziming know that Lin Qingran had already made up a soul-stirring love story for him, and then said, "Aunt Ruan is an orphan, raised by her aunt, who earns her living by being a cook for others in her daughter's temple. When Aunt Ruan was 13 years old, someone saw her beauty and wanted to force her to pick up guests in the Goulan and threatened her with her aunt. I met her at this time, rescued her and took her to the daughter temple I rented out a place.” After that, after the hero saved the beauty, the beauty promised to save her and return to Luodu City. Wouldn’t it be that she was in crisis again, and she simply brought everyone with her, and took a concubine by her side, so that she would never have to worry about it again? Worried about who will catch it.

The corners of Lin Qingran's eyes twitched slightly, more bloody than she imagined.

Seeing that she was silent, Shao Ziming asked her with a smile, "Do you believe me?"

"Fourth brother, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. This is your business. It seems that you are guilty of explaining so much, fourth brother." Of course Lin Qingran didn't believe it. She was able to save people in such a favorable time and place in Daughter's Temple , Just ask how often he appears there.

"I didn't need to explain to my younger siblings, but people's words are terrible. After all, I was hiding some truths. Aunt Ruan is an innocent girl, but she lived in the daughter's temple. It is inevitable that people will think she is unclean. My younger siblings will not misunderstand. It's good, the Shao family has many rules, if rumors spread, the reputation of the entire Shaohou Mansion will be ruined." Speaking of this, she felt a little threatened.

Lin Qingran's face darkened, "Since the fourth brother knew about the reputation of the Shaohou Mansion, he wouldn't bring in such a misunderstood woman. The fourth brother can't discipline himself, so why ask others to do so, explaining so much It’s nothing more than to keep me from talking about what happened today. The fourth brother said bluntly, don’t worry, I’m here today. There are so many people in the house, if anyone sees and hears it, they can spread the word for you with a single mouth." If you still kiss me outside so confidently and boldly, what I say will be seen and spread. , is not her responsibility.

After Lin Qingran finished speaking, she turned around and left with Siqin. Shao Ziming watched her leave his sight and leave the small garden. The smile on his face grew stronger. He was so eloquent.
All the way back to the Chenxiang courtyard, before entering the courtyard, Lin Qingran stopped and told Si Qin, "The matter of the small garden is rotten in the stomach." Si Qin nodded.

After entering the room, Si Qin went to pour tea for her, Shao Ziyu came from the study, saw some emotions on her face, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qingran took a sip from the teacup, and said to relieve her hatred, "It's okay, I stepped on something dirty on the road, and it's disgusting."

Si Qin withdrew, Shao Ziyu pulled her over and sat down, "The weather on the river in early October is fine, would my lady like to go out with me to visit Sanghu Lake?"

"To Sangjiang?" Lin Qingran's eyes lit up and she turned to look at him.

Shao Ziyu nodded, "Well, didn't you read it, the house deed given by my grandfather is in Sangjiang, and the house over there has been taken care of all the year round, so you can live there right away."

"I haven't had time to watch it yet." Lin Qingran's tone was a little more excited now, and Shao Ziyu looked at the childish look on her face and smiled, "Don't you feel sick?"

When Lin Qingran heard that he was teasing herself, she snorted, "Can you not mention this?" At the end, she added, "It's pure if you don't see it!"

This is about the feeling of pampering someone. I like to see her happy, showing a childish appearance in front of myself. There are some emotions that are not seen in front of outsiders. Shao Ziyu's emotional world is very pure.

Lin Qingran was happy for a long time, and asked him again, "We are going for a few days."

"How about staying for half a month?" Shao Ziyu also wanted to take advantage of this time to spend time with her, but he won't have such free time when he becomes a job in the future.

"Then I have to say goodbye to my grandfather." Lin Qingran nodded, saying hello to her grandfather every day, and if she didn't see anyone for ten and a half months, she must go and tell her in person.

His wife was thoughtful, so Shao Ziyu naturally said nothing, "Tomorrow morning, let's go see grandfather together."

The next day, I went to pay my respects to Lord Shao. Lord Shao had just had breakfast. It seemed that he had seen his grandson get married and let go of the important things in his heart. Instead, Master Shao’s physical condition improved. Hearing they said that he was going to Sangjiang, he smiled. Nodded, "Okay, it's good to go for a walk."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Qingran, "Son, your grandfather is in good health."

Lin Qingran nodded, slightly embarrassing, since the marriage was bestowed by the Holy Majesty two years ago, my grandfather has been 'angry' with Lord Shao. He was throwing a temper tantrum like an old child.

"I can't go to General Lu's mansion to see him in my body." Master Shao sighed, "Send a message to Lu's mansion, your grandfather is too busy to see anyone."

When Lord Shao said this, Lin Qingran immediately understood what he meant. She was asked to be a peacemaker, and the source of her grandfather's "anger" was because of her.

So Lin Qingran explained for her grandfather with a smile, "Grandfather, you also know that grandfather is a restless man, and he can't stay in the mansion for half a day during his rest time."

Lord Shao smiled, "That's right, he is such a person." Sighing, the tone was full of nostalgia, and Lin Qingran couldn't bear it. No matter what happened in the past, the most fearful thing for a person to live to this age is loneliness , no one spoke, no one came to see him.

Coming out of Lord Shao's courtyard, Lin Qingran thought about it all the way, stopped halfway, and said to Shao Ziyu, "I'm going to write to my grandfather and ask him to come to Shao's house to see my grandfather." I have known him for decades I'm an old friend, without her giving me this step, my grandfather wouldn't be able to show this face. The old man has this temper, and when he gets older, he becomes arrogant.

Shao Ziyu took her hand and continued to walk forward with joyful eyes, "Okay."

After packing up his things, Shao Ziyu took Lin Qingran to Sangjiang three days later, which was less than two days away from Luodu City.

The house given by Master Shao is near Sang Lake, and Sang Lake alone occupies half of the entire Sang River, so most people here rely on fishing for their livelihood.

There are many people who come to Sangjiang to eat fish in autumn, and there are also many people like Lin Qingran and others who buy houses near Sanghu Lake.

The carriage passed by Sang Lake in front of the house. Lin Qingran opened the curtain to see that the nearby fishing boats were casting nets, and the nets thrown by the fishermen standing on the small boats were spread out in the air and then sank into the water.

Others are already harvesting fish. Looking at them from a distance, they are alive and kicking in the nets pulled out of the water, and their fish scales are shining brightly in the sunlight.

Arriving at the gate of Shao's residence, he got out of the carriage, and an old steward opened the door.

The letter was delivered three days in advance, and the house had been cleaned up and down. The old steward saw that Shao Ziyu looked very kind, and welcomed them into the yard.

The house they live in faces south, and there are no people there for a long time. After cleaning, there will still be a strong smell. Mother Li asked Lin Qingran to stay in the yard, opened the window, and a few maids walked in and out, moved things, made beds, and boiled water. It is said that it is to let it gain some popularity first, so that the house will not feel cold when living in it.

Taking advantage of this time, the young couple walked the house inside and out. The house is not big, but the inside is quite beautiful. There is a small pond in the backyard, where some koi are raised, and they are not afraid of strangers. They saw someone coming , Swimming in groups to beg for food.

According to the old steward, the house has been bought for decades, and it was bought when the wife was still there.

The lady mentioned here is the grandmother who died young, Mrs. Shao.

Back in the inner courtyard, Ms. Li and the others had already tidied up. The newly tidied house was completely different from when they first came here. Siqi brought them tea and said, "Miss, the newly hired cook in the kitchen, I would like to ask you what to do in the evening. What to eat."

"Just cook some of the specialty dishes here." Siqi went to the kitchen to inform the cook, Shao Ziyu came out from the room on the other side of the outer room, and pulled her into the room.

Lin Qingran didn't see clearly just now, this turned out to be the study.

There are two shelves of books in the study room, there are still many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, there are many antiques on the other shelf, and there is a piano by the window.

Lin Qingran walked over and took a look. Although the piano was clean, the strings and the wood underneath looked a bit old, as if it was something from many years ago.
